Visual Termite Inspection

Before buying a home, it's crucial to understand whether the property has any signs of termite activity or past damage. A visual termite inspection gives you peace of mind by identifying visible evidence of termites and conditions that could attract them.

Our licensed technicians thoroughly assess the interior, exterior, subfloor, roof void, and surrounding grounds using specialised tools and years of expertise. We'll provide a detailed report outlining any current infestations, previous damage, or risk areas, helping you make an informed decision before you commit. It's a simple step that could save you thousands in future repairs.

Timber Pest Inspections

A timber pest inspection checks the timber in and around your property for active pest damage — termites, borers and the conditions that invite them. We inspect the accessible timber, confirm what is active and what is old, and set out the treatment plan. To be clear about scope: we are licensed pest technicians, not licensed building inspectors. We identify and confirm timber pest activity and treat it. We do not issue formal building reports, assess structural impact, or carry out the structural repairs that damage may require — that work needs a licensed builder, and we will tell you plainly when you need one.

White Ants and Termites — Same Pest, Same Treatment

Many of our Illawarra and Sydney customers call them white ants, but white ants and termites are the same insect — a timber-eating pest that's neither white nor an ant. Whatever you call them, the damage is identical and so is the fix: a professional termite inspection, followed by targeted treatment such as baiting, dusting or a chemical soil barrier.

If you've spotted what look like flying ants swarming on a warm evening, mud tubes along brickwork, or timber that sounds hollow when tapped, don't disturb the area — spraying it yourself scatters the colony and makes treatment harder. Call us on 02 4217 0117 and we'll confirm whether you're dealing with termites and recommend the right treatment for your property.

Signs You May Have Termites

Termites work silently and are often well established before there's any visible sign. Watch for these warning signs — and if you spot any, don't disturb the area, call us for an inspection.

Hollow-sounding or sagging timber

Tap skirting boards, door frames and floors; a papery or hollow sound can mean termites have eaten the timber from the inside out.

Mud tubes on walls or foundations

Pencil-width mud tunnels along brickwork, piers or subfloor walls are how termites travel between the nest and your home.

Discarded wings near windows

After a warm, humid evening swarm, small piles of shed wings on sills or in cobwebs point to a colony nearby.

Tight-fitting or buckling doors

Moisture from termite activity swells timber, so doors and windows that suddenly stick can be a warning sign.

Bubbling or blistered paint

Paint that looks water-damaged with no leak behind it can be termites tunnelling just beneath the surface.

Faint clicking inside walls

Soldier termites bang their heads to signal danger — a quiet clicking or rustling in the walls at night can give them away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some commonly searched questions about termite control to help homeowners understand treatment options, warning signs and long-term protection strategies.

Book my termite treatment
How can you tell if termites are in your house?

Early signs of termites can include hollow-sounding timber, soft or bubbling paint, mud tunnels along walls or foundations, discarded wings near windows, or faint clicking noises inside walls. In many cases, there are no obvious visual signs until significant damage has occurred, which is why professional inspections are recommended at least once a year.

How long does termite treatment last?

Termite treatment longevity depends on the method, property conditions and risk level. Chemical soil treatments can last 5–8 years when applied correctly, while baiting systems require ongoing monitoring but offer continuous protection. Moisture levels, landscaping and construction types can all impact durability, so regular inspections help ensure long-term effectiveness.

What is the most effective way to get rid of termites?

The most effective method depends on whether termites are active or simply a risk. For active infestations, professionals may use targeted dusting, foaming or baiting to eliminate the colony. For prevention, barrier systems or treated soil zones can protect the perimeter. A tailored plan is usually required to address the property's structure and environment.

Are white ants and termites the same thing?

Yes. 'White ants' is the common Australian name for termites — they're neither white nor ants, but the name has stuck. Whatever you call them, they eat timber and the treatment is the same: a professional inspection followed by baiting, dusting or a chemical soil barrier.

How much does termite treatment cost?

Termite treatment is priced per property because it depends on the size and construction of the home, how established the activity is, and the method required. The best starting point is an inspection — call 02 4217 0117 and we'll assess your property and give you a clear, no-obligation quote.
